I'm back now from nearly four weeks in Ireland (via Holyhead, Wales, this time) which accounts for the silence here - sorry I forgot to announce it.
If you emailed you would have got an 'out of office' reply and if you posted a comment on the blog it would have been moderated as soon as we had good enough mobile data or wifi.
As soon as I have dealt with household administration and sorted out our next holiday arrangements (I had a call to pay the balance while I was in Co. Donegal!) I'll be back here with news of the next stamp issues (moths and military aircraft), news of postmark slogans, and a few pictures of things from Ireland.

I don't really look at the detail very often, I just notice, from time to time, the figure ticking over. But I did just look at some peaks and there was clearly something amiss on a couple of occasions, so we shouldn't read too much into the figures.
